Gray Squirrels

One of the most frequently encountered native Florida
mammals is the gray squirrel. These rodents have large,
bushy tails and chisel-like front teeth that can chew
through almost anything.

Gray squirrels are active during the day. They eat a wide
variety of plants, but mostly fruits and nuts.
They're common in urban areas, especially where there are
oak trees, gardens, and bird feeders to provide them with
plenty of food.

Squirrels can cause a wide variety of problems in the
home landscape. They can disturb your plants, often
digging up seeds or consuming flowers.
Visual and odor repellents typically don't work, but
taste repellents can sometimes be effective. And
sometimes a solution could be as simple as moving your
potted plants.
